my friends dog always comes up to me and is nice to me, then it snaps at me for no reason and I kicked it. I didnt raise my leg back or anything just kind of kicked it, not that hard, but I feel bad, also its english(cocker spaniel) so does that make it ok to kick because its english?

Yes, regardless, a dog doesnt understand what it is doing, its natural instinct to want to protect its home/owner/ young......blame the owner or yourself.....why did the dog bite you in the first place?

Tell your friend that you don't want to be around the dog if you can't deal with it.
A dog doesn't know your motivation or have your sense of logic. What a lot of people think is innocent behavior is perceived as threatening to a dog or its master. Dogs don't find staring, territorial violations, or food taking as innocent actions, they are aggressive actions.
Did the dog actually bite you, nip you, or snap at you? These aren't interchangeable terms. In the title you say "bite" but in the description you say "snap". If it's snap, or nip, then the dog isn't aggressing on you but is putting on a show and maybe being playful. Your kicking it could change that.

Not only is it not wrong, but, in certain circumstances, I say you have every right to kill the damned thing. If you're walking along the street minding your own business and a dog comes out and bites you - feel free to kill it. I would. Because it could have been a child instead of an adult.

Kicking the dog to defend yourself = good
Teaching that dog a lesson and kicking it over and over = bad

You can kick the dog,but beware of what it might do after you kick it,dogs usually get more vicious when you react that way.??

I tend to growl back at the animal and then bite it back
Then again being a big cuddly Jaguar has its advantages

Yes it is.
It should be disciplined for its behaviour, not abused
